The ad, which shows a woman's yearlong fitness journey after her husband gives her one of its costly stationary bikes, was widely criticized on social media this week, including by some who said it sent a sexist message. The blowback was so fierce the company's stock price dropped by as much as 10%, Bloomberg reported.

That fall erased $942 million from Peloton's market value. It was also the biggest single-day drop for the company since October.
that is one awful ad. Also a solid response to guy who always responds to a bad ad with "well it got you talking about it so it worked!"
also don't find the ad sexist like most of the twitter mob...it just sucks

Yes the ad absolutely sucks but the people who are claiming it's sexist are lunatics.
They have completely invented a fake backstory to get outraged about. This husband obviously thought his wife was fat and bought her the machine against her will and is forcing her to lose weight to please him.
That's totally the intended message for the ad of course!
Something tells me most of the people making those complaints are all blue haired 300-pound lesbian monsters.

If she started as a fatty or even with just baby weight I could see that but with a woman that looks like she runs marathons already
